Newham Report written by Sharon
Big thank you to Hilary for leading Jack and Becky on her first run with GoodGym along the rainy pavements of Newham from Jom and Tonic to the Up Garden.
James also joined us for his first GoodGym task but like Paul,Kevin and I made his way directly to The Up Garden dodging the puddles.
Gabion bench filling was the task for tonight 6 benches and 6 seats need stones placing in the baskets to ensure they will not move.
We split into 2 groups wheelbarrow fillers which due to the amount of rain washed the stones ready for the others to fill the baskets.
We were all very grateful for the pergola to shelter under for a few minutes during a very heavy downpour but as it eased we pushed on to get the last baskets filled.
Baskets filled and seats in place we said our goodbyes before heading off into the night to get home for a hot bath and a large mug of tea.
We will be heading back to E7 next week to prep a wall ready for a mural https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/wall-mural-prep

Newham Report written by Sharon
Kevin and I headed to Cody Dock to help out with their litter pick as part of Keep Britain Tidy Spring Clean
We were joined by Evie who is the new education coordinator for Cody Dock and several of their volunteers.
After collecting the equipment and loading the trolleys we headed towards Three Mills on the River Lea,todays task was to clean from the section from Three Mills to Twelve Trees Bridge.
It was still raining as we headed to the river but we would not let a little rain get in the way of improving this stretch of river for its human and animal visitors.
We have cleared this section previously and it was a pleasant surprise to find that this times there was much less litter that required clearing.
In two hours we managed to clear about 20 bags of rubbish plus several lengths of copper piping and a deck chair.
We then beaded back towards the dock to deposit the bags ready for the council to collect.
